A series of 2-and 3-nitrothiophene-5-carboxamides bearing N-(y-aminoalkyl) side chains has been prepared by treatment of the thiophenecarbonyl chloride with the appropriate (protected)-aminoalkylamine. Analogous N-(oxiranylmethyl) nitrothiophene-5-carboxamides have been synthesized by epoxidation of the corresponding jV-allylamide. Compounds in both classes were evaluated in vitro both as radiosensitizers of hypoxic mammalian cells and as selective bioreductively activated cytotoxins. The most potent radiosensitizers were those agents with strong tertiary amine bases or oxiranes in the side chain. Studies in vivo showed that 2-methyl-JV-[2-(dimethyl-amino) ethyl]-3-nitrothiophene-5-carboxamide caused slight radiosensitization of the KHT sarcoma in mice given 0.34 mmol kg'1. However, administration of this and related tertiary amines at higher doses was precluded by systemic toxicity.The relativeresistance of cells in hypoxicregions of solid tumors to killing by ionizing radiation remains an im-portant reason for failure of local control of cancer by radiotherapy since molecular oxygen is required as an electron acceptor for the manifestation of damage to DNA. Electron-affinic nitroheterocycles can, however, act as
